The Smuggler's Ticking Clock: Rations and Retribution

Tazien Vor woke up to the screeching voice of her mother-in-law, publicly denouncing her in the town square to steal her children's last half-sack of grain. The original Tazien would have wept and surrendered the food, dying a naive pushover who bankrupted herself for a family that despised her. The new Tazien? She broke a wooden bucket over the old hag's head. Armed with a magical pocket dimension that allows her to sell mundane retro junk as 'priceless antiques' to the future, Tazien is ready to hoard unimaginable wealth, stuff her adorable kids with luxury snacks, and violently dismantle the greedy Vor clan. But there is a catch her magical cheat never mentioned: a glowing countdown timer etched into her wrist threatens to erase her existence in sixty days. The only way to add time? Derailing the fated success of her abusive relatives through sheer, unadulterated spite. With her cold, stern military husband unexpectedly returning from a highly classified border mission, Tazien must juggle her smuggling empire, a double-agent niece, and a ticking clock. Will she secure her family's future before time runs out, or will the portal consume her first?
